Hello everyone,

For the upcoming renovation, I’m once again reviewing the floor plan of the upper floor.
I have attached the current version.

The bathroom (bottom left) is actually 1 meter (3 feet) narrower, so it is 3.81 meters (12.5 feet) wide and the children’s room is 4 meters (13 feet) wide.
It will be a complete renovation, so we still have flexibility. I am primarily looking for ideas on whether and what you would change.

Please don’t be confused by the drawn-in furniture; that is not planned as shown.

Well... it would be helpful if you at least mentioned which rooms are going to be built. Or if you’re planning to keep the existing ones? And what exactly do you want to renovate? Otherwise, it’s just a game of "guess with Rosenthal" 😉

The entire house is undergoing a complete renovation. New windows, new electrical system, new floors, new walls, new ceilings.

The rooms themselves will remain the same: one bathroom, one bedroom, and two children’s rooms, or initially one children’s room and one office.

My main focus is on practical room sizes. I have also considered designing a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, but I haven’t found a sensible way to do it.

And, ceiling height, knee wall height, or do the dashed lines indicate the 1-meter (3 feet) and 2-meter (6 feet 7 inches) lines? Is underfloor heating planned to be integrated? Is north at the top of the plan?

We have already discussed the bathroom design before, haven’t we?

I often suggest covering the sloped wall area with sliding doors to create a built-in wall closet that is more than 65cm deep (25.6 inches). In my opinion, this is the cleanest and most elegant solution for a wardrobe in a bedroom.
This would allow for about one meter (39.4 inches) of closet depth.
The bed would then naturally be placed against the opposite wall.
If budget allows, I would enlarge the windows.
Bathroom: The toilet _must_ be relocated; less than 2 meters (6.6 feet) is simply not acceptable!
Rotate it 90 degrees and place it under the skylight, covering the left area with a platform.
Note: By reducing the bathroom width by 1 meter (39.4 inches), the bathroom size becomes approximately 8.5 square meters (91 square feet).
Ideally, move the door so that sanitary fixtures can fit on both sides of it.
I would relocate the shower and instead install a bathtub in that space.
